3 | Building America eere.energy.gov Primary Problem or Opportunity: National Energy Savings from HPWHs

• Water heaters account for 18% of energy used in homes, or 1.8 Quads of energy use annually.1 • Electric resistance water heaters make up 41% of all residential water heaters in the U.S.1 • Heat pump water heaters (HPWH) can provide up to 62% energy savings over electric resistance water heaters.2 • 50% market penetration of HPWHs would result in savings of approximately 0.08 Quads annually. 1 EIA; 2009 Residential Energy Consumption Survey 2 Based on the DOE test procedure and comparison of an electric tank water heater (EF=0.90) versus a heat pump hot water heater (EF=2.35)

4 | Building America eere.energy.gov Primary Problem or Opportunity: Lack of Market Penetration

• Currently, market adoption and utility program incentives of HPWHs are limited due to lack of understanding and field data regarding: – Impact on space conditioning energy consumption and occupant comfort. – Impact on demand response programs. – Durability in harsh water conditions.

5 | Building America eere.energy.gov Primary Problem or Opportunity: The Role of This Research Project

• Evaluation of HPWHs in a highly controlled environment will help achieve market penetration of HPWHs through creation of a detailed data set that will comprehensively describe the performance of HPWHs installed in conditioned space in a number of configurations and as a demand response asset.

• This information is necessary to support regional efficiency and manufactured housing programs and encourage more widespread adoption of HPWH nationally.

6 | Building America eere.energy.gov Overview of Technology: HPWHs • HPWHs work by transferring heat from the ambient air to the water in the tank. • This process provides more energy to the water than it uses in electricity. – Tested Energy Factors (EF) for HPWHs available on the market range from 1.7 to 2.4.3 3 Ecotope; 2011 Source: U.S. DOE; energysavers.gov

7 | Building America eere.energy.gov Overview of Technology: HPWHs in Conditioned Space

• HPWHs installed in interior space will use conditioned indoor air HPWH to heat water. – Benefit during cooling – Penalty during heating Interior Exterior – May affect comfort Summer Winter Summer Winter HP COP 2.3 – 2.5 3-5 1 DHW • Performance of 1,650 Energy 2,500 kWh/yr 0 kWh/yr HPWHs installed Savings outside will have Impact on +800 to reduced performance.

8 | Building America eere.energy.gov Overview of Technology: HPWHs with Exhaust Ducting

• Modeling has found ducting exhaust to effectively mitigate some adverse space conditioning impacts in Northern Climates. – Resulted in NEEA Northern Climate HPWH Specification requiring exhaust ducting for Tier 2 products. Northern Climates ≥ 4000 HDD and Average Ambient Temp < 60F

• Requires data to verify model assumptions and findings.

9 | Building America eere.energy.gov Overview of Technology: Supply Ducting

• Newton’s 2nd Law – Reduced impact with exhaust ducting relies on buffering from semi-conditioned spaces. – Will result in depressurization with respect to outside. • This may be a problem for small homes (e.g., manufactured homes) and homes in high radon areas.

• NEEA Tier 3 Spec requires optional supply ducting and Northwest Energy Efficient Manufactured Home (NEEM) Specification may require similar. – No products are currently available with this configuration. – Ducting directly from outside will result in decreased HPWH performance.

• Need to verify performance of HPWH with supply ducting to crawlspace.

10 | Building America eere.energy.gov Overview of Technology: HPWH Demand Response Characteristics

• Many utilities currently employ electric resistance water heaters to shave peak load by turning off the water heater (INC). • PNNL has also demonstrated the potential of using HPWHs to increase load (DEC) for areas with high renewable penetration and to provide additional balancing and ancillary (voltage regulation) services. • Need to understand demand response characteristics of HPWHs as compared to electric resistance water heaters, including “dispatchable kW,” “thermal capacity,” and “response time.”

11 | Building America eere.energy.gov Overview of Technology: HPWH Durability in Hard Water

• Utilities and consumers are concerned about lifetime of HPWHs in areas with hard water – HPWHs typically have anode rods installed to neutralize hard water and delay tank corrosion. – Information is not widely available for what ranges of hard water conditions anode rods are designed for or how they affect HPWH lifetime and cost effectiveness.

12 | Building America eere.energy.gov Vision of Success

• Clear guidance on the optimal installation of HPWHs in all climates and configurations. • Adoption of HPWHs as a fully-approved measure in BPA service territories and into other utility incentive programs, particularly in cold climates and areas with hard water. • Consideration of HPWHs for High-Performance Manufactured Homes (HPMHs) in the Pacific Northwest that go beyond the current Northwest Energy Efficiency Manufactured Home (NEEM) specifications. • Adoption of HPWHs into utility demand response product portfolios. • HPWHs are installed as “standard” technology for electrically-heated homes across the nation and contribute to 50% energy saving solutions in new and existing homes.

13 | Building America eere.energy.gov Business Plan Linking Research to Industry/Market

Research results will:

Present data to Present results to Provide installation Regional Technical research community guidance in BASC Forum and builders

Justify and/or Inform HPWH support models and Provide modification of enable Northern industry with Northern Climate Climate Tier 3 installation best Spec and PNW product with practices Incentives supply ducting

14 | Building America eere.energy.gov Key Metrics for Each Year of Funding Anticipated

2013 • Verification and documentation of energy savings, load-balancing potential, and performance of: – energy and occupant comfort impacts of new HPWHs without ducting, with exhaust ducting, and with supply and exhaust ducting, – HPWH demand response capabilities, and – HPWH performance in hard water conditions. • Development of specifications for HPWH appropriate for adoption into utility incentive programs, particularly in cold climates and areas with hard water. • Production of data set to inform HPWH model calibrations. Beyond • Development of climate- and housing type-specific guidance for HPWH installation to maximize savings in all climate zones and configurations. • Collaboration with manufacturers to develop market-ready supply ducted units, as appropriate.

15 | Building America eere.energy.gov 2011 Primary Accomplishments

• Sited and commissioned PNNL Lab Homes • Held Road-mapping Workshop

16 | Building America eere.energy.gov 2012 Primary Accomplishments

Highly Insulating Windows Experiment • Side-by-side assessment in the PNNL Lab Homes demonstrated that highly insulating windows: – Save approximately 13% on whole house energy use – Reduce peak demand 25% in the summer – Improve through more consistent interior temperatures and higher surface glass temperatures – May decrease the risk of condensation and mold issues in regions with high – Still have long PBPs - from 23 to 55 years. • Cost effectiveness could be improved through reduced costs, valuation of non-energy benefits, and accounting for system-level savings (e.g., downsized HVAC systems and optimized design).

17 | Building America eere.energy.gov Research Adjustments Based on Past Findings

• Despite budget and schedule implications of changing terms of cooperation with GE, the experimental plan and scope have not changed. • It is important to check data daily to ensure quality and make quick adjustments.

18 | Building America eere.energy.gov 2013 Strategy to Achieve Research Goals: Steps

• Install two second-generation GE GeoSpring Hybrid HPWHs in the conditioned space of the two PNNL Lab Homes, which will allow for side- by-side comparison of the HPWHs in various configurations with identical Modify simulated occupancy patterns to isolate the performance and effects of Lab Homes the HPWHs from all other variables.

• Coordinate with existing and ongoing verification efforts by PGE, BPA, GTI, EPRI, NEEA, NREL and others to better understand HPWH interaction with the conditioned space and validate models, such as Coordinate BeOpt, to better predict HPWH performance in different climates.

• 3 Thermal Experiments, 1 DR Experiment, 1 Hard Water Evaluation Conduct • Ongoing QA/QC of data and experimental set up Experiments

21 | Building America eere.energy.gov Technical Underpinnings Targeted #5: Hard Water Experiments

• PNNL will work with GE and CPS Energy in San Antonio, Texas, to evaluate HPWH performance and durability in hard water conditions. This research question is of particular interest to CPS Energy, who would like to incentivize HPWHs due to their ideal climate but is concerned about the effect of the local hard water on the units. – Phase I: Literature review and manufacturer interviews to better characterize problem and current knowledge. – Phase II: Conduct any necessary additional data collection to fill identified gaps in understanding. This may include deploying HPWHs to San Antonio (contingent on outyear funding).

22 | Building America eere.energy.gov 2013 Research Goals and Metrics

Thermal Experiments: • Quantification of the tradeoffs between space conditioning impact and HPWH performance and identification of the optimal installation of HPWHs in conditioned space, which minimizes whole house energy use and does not adversely affect occupant comfort. – Whole house, HVAC, DHW energy use, and thermal comfort impacts in each configuration.

Hard Water Evaluation: • Characterization of current understanding of HPWH longevity in regions with hard water.

Demand Response Experiments: • Evaluation of HPWH demand response characteristics for load shedding and balancing reserve events. – Dispatchable kW, inherent capacity reduction, response time and duration, delivered hot water temp.
